How crazy do you want to go? You can go as simple as light weight wheels, spare and jack removal, and a rear seat delete? Or you can go all aluminum block, carbon fiber body panels, fully tubed chassis, all unneccessary interior panels removed, plexi glass windshield and rear window, the list goes on and on.

i say you lose all the body panels... just ride on frame and engine, axels wheels and use a stick to slow down i bet that would shave alot of weight
